Take fantastic photos without taking a photography class

Looking for an easy-to-use digital camera with a bit more punch than your old point-and-shoot? Nikon's 16-megapixel Coolpix L610 packs potent features into a super-compact camera you'll never want to leave at home. From long-range zoom to HD video, the L610 balances high performance with intuitive operation.

Whether at your child's soccer game, the beach, or traveling abroad, a versatile camera will give you lots of shooting options. With the L610, you can get close-ups of your daughter on the field without leaving your spot on the sideline, thanks to 14X optical zoom. Or go wide-angle and photograph a magnificent sunset over the ocean. Or get up close and personal with a small flower  as close as 1 cm  for a macro shot. You can even add filter effects to stored images to create stylized photos that look more like works of art than snapshots.

Auto Mode makes this camera foolproof

Optical image stabilization ensures that the quality of your pictures won't be dependent on keeping a steady hand. And a powerful CMOS sensor means that your images will sparkle with detail even in low-light settings. Choose from one of 19 scene settings based on your environment, or just let the L610's Auto Mode take control and adjust the settings for you on the fly.

Full-HD video from your digital camera

No need to tote around a separate camcorder. The L610 records full-HD video, so you're always ready to capture those elusive moments when the video camera is stuffed in a closet and your smartphone's video capabilities just don't cut it. If 1080p video isn't enough to impress your friends, take a picture using 3D mode for viewing on a 3D-ready TV and watch your photos literally jump out of the screen. (Just don't forget the 3D glasses.)

Features

LCD Monitor: The Nikon Coolpix L610
has a 3" TFT LCD monitor featuring
approximately 460,000 pixels and a five-level
brightness adjustment. The LCD monitor's wide-angle viewing area makes it
easy to see and use. The LCD monitor has approximately 96% horizontal and vertical coverage in the
shooting and playback modes. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera.

Image Sensor: The Coolpix L610 features a
1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately
16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.1-million.

Optics: The Coolpix L610 digital camera uses a Nikkor glass
zoom lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing
process is controlled by Nikon. The Nikkor lens is designed for the specific camera and
image sensor combination.
The Coolpix L610 uses a 14x optical zoom, that is equivalent
to a 25-350mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 2x digital zoom, the
camera's total zoom capability is 28x. The angle of view is equivalent to that
of approximately 700mm lens (35mm format).

Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 28 MB internal memory for storing still images and
movies with sound. Images will be saved to the internal memory when no memory
card is inserted. Using the internal memory, you can store approximately 4 images at the
highest resolution, or 10 seconds of High Definition video.

Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images
can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards. When an SD Memory
card is inserted in the camera, the images are automatically recorded onto the
card. The camera can support SD cards up to 2 GB, SDHC cards from 4 GB to
32 GB, and SDXC cards of 64 GB or 128 GB. Memory cards with a Speed Class rating
of 6 or faster are recommended for recording movies.

Image Sizes: The Coolpix L610 records still images in JPEG
format, as well as High Definition and Standard Definition movies in MOV format
(Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; Audio: LPCM stereo). You have a choice of
seven still image size options and
two movie options:

Still Images:

16M: 4608 x 3456 High Quality 1:4 compression ratio

16M: 4608 x 3456 Standard Quality 1:8 compression ratio

8M: 3264 x 2448

VGA: 640 x 480--4:3 (Bit rate: 3 Mbps)

Note: The maximum movie length for each movie is 29 minutes,
and the maximum file size is 4 GB, regardless of the memory card capacity.

3D Photography: The camera can take 3D photos that are
viewable on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor. Images are recorded at a size of 1920
x 1080. Recording a 3D image is a two-step process. After taking the initial
picture (left eye image), a second picture (right eye image) is taken
automatically by moving the camera horizontally to the right until the subject
is aligned with the guide on the monitor. To play back 3D images, you will need
to connect the camera to the TV via a 3D-compatible HDMI cable. Only the initial
(left eye) image can be viewed in the camera's monitor.

Shooting Modes: You can choose one of the following shooting modes:

Easy Auto Mode: The camera automatically determines an
appropriate shooting mode when you frame a picture, allowing you to easily
take pictures with a shooting mode that suits the scene. Easy Auto Mode
scenes include: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape,
Close-up, Backlighting, and Other Scenes.

Auto Mode: A mode used for general shooting. In Auto Mode, you can apply the macro mode and
exposure compensation when shooting pictures. You can choose a flash mode
and activate the self-timer.

Special Effects Mode:
Effects can be applied to images when shooting. You can choose from the
following special effects: High Key, Low Key, Soft, and Selective Color.

Smart Portrait: Using face priority to
recognize human faces, the shutter is automatically released when a smile is
detected. A skin softening option can smooth the skin tones in human faces.

Continuous Shooting: You can set the camera to take one picture at a
time or multiple images by selecting one of the following options:

Single: The camera records one picture each time the shutter release button is
pressed.

Continuous: While the
shutter-release button is held down, up to 4 pictures are taken at a rate of about
1.9 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to 16M (4608 x 3456).

Best Shot Selector:
The BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement
can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or
over-exposure. When BSS is on, the camera takes shots while the shutter-release
button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. The images are compared and the sharpest
picture is saved to the internal memory or memory card.

Multi-Shot 16: Each time
the shutter release button is pressed, the camera takes 16 consecutive
"thumbnail" images at a rate of about 30 frames per second, and arranges them
into a single 5M (2560 x 1920) image.

Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10 second timer for self-portraits.

Focus Area Selection: You can select between the following
Focus Area Selection methods to determine where the camera focuses:

Target Finding AF:

When the camera detects the main subject, it focuses in that subject.

When the subject is in focus, the focus area matches the size of the
subject.

When the camera detects a person's face, it focuses on it as a priority.

Center: The camera focuses
on the subject in the center of the frame.

Color Options: You can shoot still images with several color
options: Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype.

Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close
as 0.4". The flash may be unable to light entire subject at distances of less
than 1 feet 8 inches.

Focus Lock: The Focus Lock
feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in
Center AF mode.

AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator
may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 6' 7" at the maximum
wide-angle position and 3' 7" at the maximum telephoto position. You can turn
this function on or off, as desired.

Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is
available when you are shooting in Easy Auto, Portrait, or Night Portrait mode. When the camera detects
that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is
displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the
picture and decide whether or not to take another picture.

Exposure
Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the
camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from
-2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 steps.

ISO Settings: Sensitivity is
the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features
ISO settings of Auto, 125,
200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.

White Balance:
You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent,
Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset Manual and use a
neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual
lighting conditions.

Built-in Flash: The Coolpix L610 has a built-in Speedlite flash with a range of
1'-8" to 19' (Wide angle) and 5' to 10' (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes:

Auto: Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

Auto with Red-eye Reduction: Pre-flash fires before main flash to reduce
red-eye effect.

Flash Off: Flash will not fire, even when lighting is poor.

Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken.

Slow Sync: Auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds.

In-Camera Red-Eye Fix: If the camera detects red-eye after the pre-flash has fired, advanced
red-eye reduction processing is used to further reduce red-eye, slightly
increasing the time required before the next picture can be taken.

I Love the COOLPIX L610 Camara

I give this camera the highest mark for quality. I was surprised how heavy it was, which is good, as it has lots of smart stuff inside and excellent optics. The pop up flash, which I control, is powerful and projects a good light. The lens quality is outstanding. Nice large view screen and easy to operate. This was an excellent buy!

Great for the price

I like the small compact size and has many options to pick from. Nice size screen and not heavy.

Pros:Small, light weight, simple to use.

Cons:The only issue up to this point is the fact that some pics come out blurry, i have tried different settings and still there are always a few that come out blurry. If I can get pass this issue I think it will be ok.

My first digital camera

Simple to use , AA batteries, good vivid pictures & a reasonably low price were my main criteria in choosing a camera. So I gave up on one with a viewfinder. True - the sunlight reflects on my LCD screen I can't see a thing. But not to worry. I just point the camera & hope for the best. And I feel that the best is what I get. I use the Easy Auto. I've only had the camera a couple of weeks but I'm thrilled with it !!

Pros:Great pictures & easy to operate.

Cons:Not too big of a deal but a viewfinder would have made the camera extra, extra nice.

"Easy-Peezy Camera Update!"

Having a somewhat similar (but older and out-of-date) camera, I needed to update, and I have been very pleased with the results using my new camera! Although I changed brands, this camera is quite comfortable to use, especially for me, a non-professional! It's size is perfect, and the results seen are what I was hoping for! A good purchase!!

Nikon Coolpix L610

Great Camera, Great Photos & Great Value!,Overall, I did noticed that the camera seemed to take its time focusing when zooming in and out. It uses AA alkaline batteries it goes through them at a very rapid pace . I really like this camera and would recommend it to others just bring extra batteries if your taking it on a all day outting.

Pros:Compact body with a decent zoom range Feels substantial and very easy to use.

Impressive camera

This is my second Coolpix camera. I liked the first one, but this one is even better. The quality of the pictures is excellent. The Crutchfield service was "the best". The camera arrived in a minimum of time (for the free shipping) and was very well packed.

Nikon Coolpix L610

Arrived in time for Christmas, Well protected in box! One reading of instruction booklet and off I go. Easy to use and all operations work nicely My Kodak Digital expired after just a few years. This Nikon is a great replacement and it is taking great ipctures.

Nikon Coolpix L610 Review

I took the L610 with me on an organized tour of the NASA facility. It involved people and equipment photos with interior lighting and a lot of depth of field opportunity. The L610 is still a bit slower than my 35mm Nikon SLR and some ambient light shots showed bluring of people in motion. I was impressed with the autofocus capability and color rendition. Later the same night I put it in my pants pocket to get pictures of a Jethro Tull concert. I was more than pleased with cameras ability to focus in limited light situations. Most of my shots were with maximum zoom and using available stage lighting. I got several good shots that would not have been possible with my earlier model Nikon Coolpix camera. The disposable batteries that came with the camera did not last long. New lithium batteries are still going strong after 100+ photos. I wanted a simple point and shoot camera for people pictures and location shots. I am very pleased with the Nikon Coolpix L610 for ease of use and quality of photos. It is a good choice for the price range.

Pros:An excellent point and shoot pocket camera with a good zoom range and speed of cycling. A definite step up from earlier generation Nikon pocket cameras.

Cons:Not a stop action camera in limited light situations. Uses disposable batteries. It takes a few seconds from start up to the time when zoom capability is active.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs

User-friendly camera

I like cameras that help me take better pictures. I like the Coolpix L610. The 3D image option tells me exactly what I need to do to create a 3D image. The scene menu has settings for just about any situation I would need a camera for  fireworks, beach, museum, party/indoor, sonw, dusk/dawn, etc. And it has a setting for food (for, you know, Twitter and stuff), pets, sports (for capturing fast action), and more.

I tried using a many different settings as possible shooting test images in the Crutchfield Labs, and they all worked very well. While I could occasionally see instances where I might get a better image in manual mode (assuming I knew what parameters to tweak), the end results were more than adequate  and great for snapping photos on the fly.
